Overview

What we love about Singita Kataza House

Singita Kataza House offers an exclusive use, safari base in Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda, where forest, mist and foot-led encounters set a slower, more attentive rhythm. The house uses local materials to connect to the surrounding landscape and neighbours Singita Kwitonda so guests can access all facilities and amenities at the lodge and retreat to a more private setting if preferred.

Awards

What awards & Acclaims have they received?

Singita Kataza House carries a quieter kind of acclaim, shaped by its Volcanoes National Park setting, considered hospitality and the way the stay keeps landscape, comfort and safari rhythm in careful balance.

Location

Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda

Singita Kataza House sits in Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda, within misty volcanic highland forest, close to Rwanda's gorilla trekking trailheads. The setting keeps the stay grounded in the surrounding landscape and guests can arrange day trips for gorilla trekking, golden monkey treks and more - note that the property recommends guests book and pay for a driver guide to facilitate any activities and transfers needed.

Direct flights connect Singita Grumeti to Kigali and scheduled flights link Nairobi, Cape Town and Johannesberg to Kigali.

From the UK, travellers usually fly into Kigali, then continue by road to the gorilla, forest, lake or savannah regions.

Rwanda’s compact geography makes overland transfers comparatively straightforward, though gorilla permit timing and lodge choice shape the itinerary.

Perfect for The Tracker & The Rewilder

Singita Kataza House speaks first to The Curator through lodge design, setting and the pleasure of thoughtful immersion in the landscape. The Rewilder adds a slower rhythm that lets the outside world loosen.
